Product Information

All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle." - Saint Francis of Assisi When creating a commemorative photo book ( or any other type of book for that matter) there are a few aspects you need to consider: What is lovely never dies, but passes into another loveliness, star-dust or sea-foam, flower or winged air." - Thomas Bailey Aldrich Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven, Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Scrapbooking after losing a loved one can be an emotional and challenging experience. It can also be therapeutic, helping us to grieve and heal after the loss, while keeping the memory of our loved one alive for us and helping us focus on happy memories.

If you are unsure what to write about in your art/grief journal, try starting withsome suggested prompts. The very first thing you need to do is go through old photos and see which ones you want to include in your memorial photo book. You should also take this opportunity to speak with family members and friends to see if they have pictures of your loved one. Then, you need to make your final selection. It’s only natural to want to add every photo available, but we recommend only adding the best of the best – you want to make sure your book doesn’t end up too dense. Buy a scrapbook album in the size you would like (12" x 12" and 8.5" x 11" are among the most popular). Make sure to choose one that is archival and either a timeless color or your loved one's favorite color. We recommend getting a sturdier cover for your memorial photo book. While this can be more expensive, there are still plenty of options at different price points. For example, hardcovers are already a robust yet more affordable alternative. However, we suggest getting a leather cover. Although it’s one of the most expensive options, it will last throughout various generations. I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places that this heart of mine embraces, all day through." - Billie HolidayOne way of dealing with this particular challenge is to begin to scrapbook these pictures as part of a group. Whether it is with a formal grief support group or just your local church crop, having others around for support as you revisit old memories of your loved one can be a great resource. Research actually shows that scrapbooking about your loved one with group support is not only easier, but can be very therapeutic for the grieving process. Grief journaling is a long-proven way to help those who are grieving process our feelings and begin to move forward. Typically, grief journaling is done by writing down thoughts in a notebook of some sort. But for those of us more comfortable with art than words, an art journal can be a powerful emotional outlet. The freedom to fill the blank space with poignant color and images as well as words can help get feelings out when words alone seem to fail us.

Later, the memories recorded in your art journal can be paired with photos and transferred to a traditional scrapbook if you wish. Your art journal will safely hold those memories until you are ready to take that step.
